An Efficient Deep-Sea Debris Detection Method Using Deep Neural Networks

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021
Marine debris impacts negatively upon the marine environment and the survival of marine life because they are some difficult-to-degrade substances, and most of them will sink into the deep sea and continue to exist in the ocean.
